I'm afraid there's no way to get hold of the address or reference to a 
primitive type in Java. To confirm that these are different variables you have 
to settle for the fact that they contain different values.

Consider the following (might contain typos):

public class Base {
  private int i = 0;

  public int getBaseI( ) {
    return i;
  }

  public void setBaseI( int value ) {
    i = value;
  }
}


public class Extended extends Base {
  private int i = 0;

  public int getExtendedI( ) {
    return i;
  }

  public void setExtendedI( int value ) {
    i = value;
  }
}

public class Test {
  public static void main( String[] args ) {
    Extended obj = new Extended( );

    obj.setBaseI( 5 );
    obj.setExtendedI( 10 );
    System.out.println( "Base: " + obj.getBaseI() + " Extended: " +
obj.getExtendedI() );
  }

}

printall() function. Is that the only way?

As long as the two i2 variables are private, the only way to solve it is to 
override the printall() method in the extended class. A better way to do it is 
to have the printall() method refer to public or protected getter method and 
then override the getter method:

public class Base {
  private int i = 10;

  protected int getI( ) {
    return i;
  }

  public String toString() {
    return "i = " + getI( );
  }
}

public class Extended extends Base {
  private int i = 20;

  protected int getI( ) {
    return i;
  }
}

public class Test {
  public static void main( String[] args ) {
    Base base = new Base( );
    Extended ext = new Extended( );

    System.out.println( "Base:     " + base );
    System.out.println( "Extended: " + ext );
  }
}
